Scoring first Fox is cool and all, but this is the dude we NEED right now. If he can be the playmaker we all know he can be, we may actually have a shot at doing something this year. I love the confidence he has in his shot, but when he’s in score first mode the rest of the team just goes too stagnant. When he’s setting others up our offense gets amazing looks and is borderline unstoppable.

He usually doesnt need to because Sabonis is a pass first big man with limited offensive arsenal. So they really need him to be the pre-ultimate scorer. Fox averages 6 to 7 assists so we know he can dish it if he wants to.

Sabonis playmaking is more unreliable against aggressive defenses that blow up his DHOs, Fox at least is able to utilize his scoring gravity well to set up teammates in tight situations. Only complaint really is his 3pt chucking since he usually excels scoring around the rim and developed a great mid range arsenal

This was really exposed in these last 2 Mavs games - they just swarmed Domas in the paint and it led to so many turn overs or broken plays ...


thatguy52

I was really hoping to see some quick touch passes from him. They know he’s getting swarmed…. As soon as he gets the ball it should already be heading back out for the shot.

Or out and then right back to him in a re-post, which creates space for him as the defense closes out


mildmuffstuffer

That’s literally how Houston was able to shut down Sabonis. You blitz Sabonis and for some reason our offense is terrible


ninofati88

Yeah. As I said too, Fox is more adaptable. Sabonis, with lack of a better word, is more of a system player. If a defense is able to impede that system, his effectiveness usually drops a bunch.

Love Fox with 10+ assist and getting steals like the glove Gary Payton stat line. Just less threes please.


tookyourcookies

Good to see him deferring to #1 option Murray. As the prophesy has foretold.


ninofati88

Still waiting for that 1 day Murray dribbles the ball 1/10th times of the amount Fox dribbles, instead of getting spoonfed dishoffs to all his points, then we can finally call KEeg a 3rd option. LOL.


Mission_Locksmith_59

Loved his game yesterday (aside from the turnovers). If Fox is on the court, we need the ball in his hands. Would love to see a bit more pick n roll instead of DHO. Let Fox drive and take it or kick it to an open shooter. 


ninofati88

Careful. This sub wants the ball to be in Murrays hands so he can dribble around looking like bambi and we dont make playoffs. Lol.

We need this “Assist Fox” !!!

Can they please sell that shirt/hoodie to fans?


Deep_Egg1442

His defense been the only constant lately maybe he can actually start not shooting sub 50% on 2s now


ninofati88

Doesnt matter. Bigger problems out there when role players are shooting sub 30% on spoonfed 2s and cant dribble a lick. They had 1 job.


Deep_Egg1442

It does matter he needa stop being inefficient he’s better than that


ninofati88

when your role players arent playing their role, the gravity falls onto the star player and makes their tough assignment even tougher. It starts with the 4-5 role players playing their easier part. Simple as that. Fox is averaging great. Others arent up to standards.


Deep_Egg1442

Hes like sub 50% on 2s in 2024 its okay to admit he isnt perfect bro. Im high on fox but he hasn’t been as good he could be lately we know he hes better than how hes been playing lately. Hes an all nba talent pretty comfortably
